The Symphony of the Scabs

By: John Anthony Davis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In a city of corruption, two serial killers begin a deadly conversation.

Casper Laine is an architect of order, a meticulous vigilante who "curates" the world by removing its most wicked individuals with a silent, surgical tool. Imogen Roarke is a sculptor of chaos, an artist who turns her kills into shocking tableaus, leaving fragments of poetry as her signature.

When Casper discovers his latest target already dead—posed and annotated by Imogen—he isn't just infuriated. He’s inspired. What follows is a gruesome duet, a secret war of aesthetics fought with corpses and symbols. He leaves an architect's compass; she answers with a child's bloody star. He demands structure; she revels in anarchy.

Their intellectual debate soon spirals into a personal war, a collision of two brilliant, twisted minds that can only end when one of them is completely unmade. But in the aftermath of their final confrontation, they discover that some connections are too profound to be broken by prison bars… and that their symphony of violence has just found a terrifying new movement.

For fans of Hannibal and Dexter, this dark, philosophical thriller explores the razor's edge between genius and madness, and the terrifying intimacy of a perfect rival.
